Massacre!

The ganking guild is growing well, we already have 12 lvl 80, gearing up. We'll gank more and more. Tuesday comes a detailed plan how to gank with objective, measurable criterias.

But now, I present you a personal reason to join an anti-social ganking guild: massacre!

This is from Wintergrasp what is World PvP, affecting gankscore. Do you see any death? Because I just see kills. Imagine that 6K HP lvl 65 characters are swarming at you, all you have to do is oneshot them and you get 60+ honor for each! That's WG with 10+ stacks of tenacity!

And this is Sholozar Basin. Bots are so rampart here that you can grind them without pause:

Starring:Historyy, skinning bot, well programedResilece, skinning bot, sometimes boter takes over and moves to another location. Bad program, tries to skin lashersFjuooll, terribly programmed skinning bot, just res, and don't move, attacks only creatures in rangeGutrock, Grind, not bots, but dumb enough to attack us after gankedDeathwhish from the guild "Internet Is For pWn"Camoscino learned that being AFK in a PvP realm is badDrulz from "Obey me" was in the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong faction of the wrong realm

If you want to participate the first and only impact-PvP project in WoW, join now! Both low levels (even rerolls) and lvl 80-es are accepted, rules here!

Tenacity WG and botkilling in Sholozar are fun but get old really fast; there's no challenge. If you come up with a great plan tuesday I might return, but otherwise world pvp isn't worth the effort, nor is it any fun.

So your guild is ganking Bots so basically you 'devalue' the honor points system. So when I see a member of your guild with a 1000 kills I can think this guy is really really good a PvPing bots?

Well if you wish to go down the easy honor system get half your guild to roll horde warlocks and then get them to life tap down and the geting an brave ganker to kill them! That will increase your gankscore too!

It seems the gankscore is just like our statistics there are lies, damn lies and gankscore.

I like the idea of your guild but killing Bots and then saying your better than other Pvp players. No! You must show that your guild is better that other players not by artifically increasing a somewhat flawed measure of success but by building a reputation. By attacking Bots and 'stealing' honor doesn't cut it.

Note by 'stealing' I mean using characters that are against the ToS (the Bots) to gain honor.

While i disagree with Gevlon on allot of things, i fail to see your point there. The whole point of the ganking project was not to become some sort of "noble" revolutionist or anything like that. It was to make horde's life a living hell. They are gankers, not professional duelists.

@ Thaing you completely missed the point of the project didn't you? They're not there to become the next "sup fresh" they are here to rebalance the server, to destroy all those fanboys. Nowdays everyone stays in capitals because they have no reason to go out, by destroying the gold farming bots they reduce the amount of items on the AH and the amount of gold for sale which would force the Morons and Slackers to exit their shelters and go look for other ways to make money, leading them straight into IG's hands.

accumulating kills against botters will not make horde's life a living hell. It may provide some satisfaction, although it may also prove irritating. As you can see, this is the second time that Gevlon notes that Blizzard doesn't take action against such an obvious cheater.

On the other hand, if they're able to control Wintergrasp and force the horde to pay attention, the upcoming changes could drive them up the wall and be very entertaining.

Tonus, it will make it a hell for them to find mats. The less the bots are able to farm, the higher the prices will go. Not just of raw mats, but also for boe crafts, glyphs, flasks etc. So more M&S will go out into the wild to ''farm for free'' . It's just a matter of time.

I know I have a problem reading things and then commenting immediately. As I am not any part of the project it shouldn't and doesn't matter to me whether the guild use spurious and flawed measures of success.

But I do disagree with you on the 'noble' element. The ganking guideline rule says the score is a 'hall of fame' 'a personal perspective' targeting bots doesn't not support this ideal (in my opinion but rules change).

Also retarded behaviour rules - targeting Bots is retarded behaviour it achieves nothing.(except to inflate a false measure of success the gankscore)

I think that it's very awesome you kill the bots sometimes. I hate botting and people who run bots and I think it's very noble to kill them since Blizzard does such a bad job of discouraging them. You guys are rocking and it is good to see! I am always very interested to see how things are going with your ganking project.

I think Gevlon is managing to do in WoW what is very difficult to do, change things. For the most part, whatever you do on your server, even if done at a very high level (e.g. HC raiding), leaves barely an impression. Tell someone you killed the Lich King, and if it's not a server first, you get a shrug, or a half-hearted "grats".

But here, a nearly abandoned faction is being revitalized and the change is being felt realm-wide. Good job!
